Note

This is the most Arcade like home version of SALAMANDER. Though I only played it once in game centre very long time ago, I cannot see any difference between this version and the original AC version with my memory. If you have missed the AC game, take your chance now!

Though Salamander Deluxe Pack Plus is available for both the Saturn and Playstation system, I prefer to play this game on Saturn. This is because the loading time is seems a little bit faster in Saturn. Besides, and the most important thing is, the control in Saturn is much better. I'm saying the Sega City's Power Control System - the original Arcade joystick. (^^)
